ORLANDO, Fla. – Tian Bing, the first-ever Chinese recruit in WWE’s history, is going to WrestleMania. WWE Performance Center Head Coach Matt Bloom today notified Bing in front of his peers that he will compete in the fourth edition of the annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which will take place during the WrestleMania 33 Kickoff in the Orlando Citrus Bowl, streaming live tonight on WWE Network.

Not only will the 6-foot-3, 220-pound recruit be part of The Ultimate Thrill Ride tonight, but he’ll have a chance to immortalize himself with a WrestleMania Moment should he win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Previous winners of the over-the-top-rope extravaganza include Cesaro (WrestleMania XXX), Big Show (WrestleMania 31) and Baron Corbin (WrestleMania 32).

Tian Bing joins the likes of Big Show, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Mojo Rawley and Braun Strowman in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which will see more than two dozen Superstars vying to remain the last man in the ring. Will WWE’s first-ever Chinese recruit also become the first Chinese Superstar to win a match on The Grandest Stage of Them All?
